Rocks
A rock is any solid mass of mineral or mineral-like matter that occurs naturally as part of our planet.
Rocks are classified into 3
major types
Igneous Rocks
Sedimentary Rocks
Metamorphic Rocks

The Rock Cycle
Interactions among the Earth’s water, air, and land can cause rocks to change from one type to another
The continuous processes that
cause rocks to change make up the rock cycle
When magma (molten material
beneath the Earth’s surface) cools and hardens, igneous rocks form. Magma that reaches the surface is called lava.
When weathered (process by which
rocks are physically and chemically broken down into small pieces called sediments) sediments are compacted and cemented together, they form sedimentary rocks.
When sedimentary rocks are subjected to extreme pressure and heat, they change in metamorphic rock.

The Rock Cycle

Powers of the Earth’s Rock Cycle
Heat from the Earth’s interior are responsible for forming both igneous and metamorphic rocks
Weathering and the movement of weathered materials are generated by the sun’s energy and produce sedimentary rock.

Classification of Igneous Rocks
Course Grained Texture – Slow cooling = large crystals. Large crystals exhibit “course-grained” texture.
![Page 36: I’m good …. Thank you. - Weeblyclementaged.weebly.com/uploads/3/7/1/2/37126211/ch_3_earth_scie… · Formation of Metamorphic Rocks Metamorphism – “to change form” Formation](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022063001/5f13c54e7412f2799d185880/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Classification of Igneous Rocks
Fine Grained Texture – Rapid cooling = small mineral grains. Small grains are said to have “fine-grained” texture.

Classification of Igneous Rocks
Glassy Texture – Lava spews on surface = may not be time for ions to arrange themselves into crystals. Random distributed ions = glassy texture.

Classification of Igneous Rocks
Porphyritic Texture – Large body of magma may take thousands of years to harden. Variety of temperature/cooling within large mass = large crystals and fine-grained minerals.

Formation of Sedimentary Rocks
Sedimentary – Comes from the Latin word “sedimentum” which means “settling”

Formation of Sedimentary Rocks
Weathering, Erosion, and
Deposition
Erosion – involves weathering and the removal of rock
When an agent (wind, ice,
water, or gravity) loses energy, it drops the sediments.
Deposition – the process of
erosion losing energy and dropping sediment.

Formation of Sedimentary Rocks
Compaction and Cementation
Compaction – process of
“squeezing” or compacting sediments
Cementation – dissolved
minerals are deposited in the tiny spaces among sediments.

Classification of Sedimentary Rocks
Chemical and Biochemical Sedimentary Rocks – form when dissolved substances precipitate, or separate, from water solution.
Examples – limestones, rock salt, chert, flint, and rock gypsum.

Features of Some Sedimentary Rocks
The many unique features of sedimentary rocks are clues to how, when, and where the rocks formed.
Each layer is a “time period”
Fossils are unique in sedimentary rocks

Formation of Metamorphic Rocks
Metamorphism – “to change form”
Formation of Metamorphic Rocks
Most metamorphic changes
occur at elevated temperatures and pressures.
These conditions are found a
few kilometers below the earth’s surface and extend into the upper mantle

Formation of Metamorphic Rocks
Types of Metamorphism
Contact Metamorphism –
Hot magma moves into rock
Regional Metamorphism
– large scale deformation and high-grade metamorphism due to extreme pressures and temperatures. (Example – mountain building)

Agents of Metamorphism
Heat – Most important agent of metamorphism. Provides energy for chemical reactions. Heat comes from magma and change in temperature with depth.

Agents of Metamorphism
Pressure (Stress) – Increases with depth (example – bottom of swimming pool). Pressure causes spaces between minerals to close = greater density.

Agents of Metamorphism
Reactions to Solutions – solutions that surround mineral grains aid in recrystallization by making it easier for ions to move. When hot, water-based solutions escape from magma, they are called hydrothermal solutions. These hot fluids promote recrystallization.

Classification of Metamorphic Rocks
Foliated Metamorphic Rocks – a texture that gives the rock a layered appearance

Classification of Metamorphic Rocks
Nonfoliated Metamorphic Rocks – a texture that does not exhibit a banded or layered appearance.
